I was hoping to hold our second Wedding Cupcake Tasting in May but it is shaping up to be another busy month so it doesn't look like it is going to happen.

Instead on May 10, 2009 we are offering assorted flavour wedding cupcake sample boxes. Our wedding cupcake sample boxes are $25.00 for 1 dozen cupcakes. The cost of the wedding cupcake sample box will be deducted from the final cost of the wedding order once it is placed making the samples free.

If you are interested in placing an order for a wedding cupcake sample box Click Here and select the "Assorted" option under both the cake and icing columns. In the special instructions box please mark "Wedding Cupcake Samples" and list any flavour requests you have. If you have any fondant decorations in mind that you would like to see please include the descriptions in the special instructions box as well.

Ever wonder what they serve at senior management meetings of large corporations? I'll give you one clue, it starts with Clever and ends with Cupcakes.

These cupcakes were part of an order for a senior management meeting at Air Canada. Each cupcake was topped with a handmade fondant decoration which reflected each of the meeting's participants' interests.

I am starting to sound like a broken record but this order was a lot of fun to put together as well. I was contacted by the bride-to-be's sister who wanted to order cupcakes for the upcoming bridal shower. We decided to top some of the cupcakes with fondant wedding dresses and others with edible images of the damask pattern from the event's invitations.

A few days after the shower I was pleasantly surprised to receive a lovely e-mail with pictures from the event!

I just wanted to thank you for the beautiful cupcakes. They were a huge success! They also tasted as great as they looked. You definitely have a special talent. If I ever need cupcakes in the future I know exactly who to contact. Thanks again.

These cupcakes were too cute! Referred by her mother who had ordered Clever Cupcakes for a friend's 50th birthday party the birthday girl's mom asked that we used the napkins for the birthday party as inspiration for the fondant decorations. When the delivery was made the mom opened the box of cupcakes and immediately said we exceeded her expectations.

This wedding order was so much fun to plan! The bride and groom had decided that chocolate cupcakes with peanut butter frosting were a must, but they were open to suggestions for the other flavours.

We decided to match the icing flavours to the wedding colours so for lavender we made lavender scented vanilla buttercream on vanilla cupcakes and for green we made green tea buttercream on mini lemon cupcakes.

To make the cupcakes extra special some were topped with fondant swans since swans had special meaning to the bride and groom.

Thanks again for going that extra mile to get that swan design for us. Everyone loved them and every flavour was somebody's favourite.

Remember back in November the entry Clever Cupcakes Strike a Pose? Well Julie Michaud, the photographer who ordered our cupcakes for her photoshoot has released her series entitled "Obsessed with Wonderland". Select prints are available for purchase on her Etsy Store.

The last two months have been a whirlwind! Thank you to all of our great clients, I appreciate every single order we receive. While this blog focuses on our line of Creative Cupcakes I don't want our clients who order our line of Classic Cupcakes to think they have been overlooked. Here is an e-mail we received after delivering one of our Classic Cupcake Birthday Boxes:

I just wanted to let you know my friend loved her cupcake birthday box. In her own words,

"OMIGOD, I COULDN'T ASK FOR A BETTER BIRTHDAY PRESENT!!!!!! I HONESTLY LOVE THAT CUPCAKE PLACE, AND I WANTED ONE FOR MYSELF AND I GOT IT!!! Ahhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!".

I'm 2,000 miles away in Texas and wish I could be there to enjoy the cupcakes too. Thanks again!

I apologize, I am almost a month behind on blogging about all the great orders we receive every week.
